All Trump supporters: "That's not what he meant!"

All Trump supporters: "Even if he did mean that, it's not fascism."

All Trump supporters: "Even if it's fascism, we're still going to vote for him."

This is why I think the possibility of Trump suspending the Constitution and/or dissolving Congress isn't very far fetched.

Nothing is far fetched with him.

That's why I find it incredible when people laugh at the notion he may not willingly leave office should he lose.

The Democrat party is unfairly criticising Trump when these hypocrites nominated Roosevelt for a 4th term. Are they saying FDR shouldn't have won WW2?

Apples and oranges.

When FDR ran and won a 4th term, presidents were not limited to two terms.  That was a tradition only, but now it's in the Constitution.

Trump (and most Republicans) would love to shred the Constitution in order to get what he wants.

Republican voters who know of this and vote for Trump anyway are the equivalent of Germans in the 30s saying Hitler was all talk and won't actually do something against the Jews.

Then when concentration camps open and Jews are dying, Republicans voters are equivalent to Germans at the time either looking the other way or ignoring what's right in front of them...if not outright supporting what's happening.

FDR literally did this in 1940 and 1944, and rigged the 1940 DNC like some sort of mobster boss to “organically” “draft” him. There’s nothing wrong with discussion of repealing the 22nd Amendment.

FDR didn't do this, because it wasn't in the Constitution until after he was out of office.  When FDR did this, it was merely a tradition; now it's a rule and Trump is Constituently obligated to only serve at max two terms.

Yes, there is a HUGE problem discussing repealing this Amendment.  Presidents should not have the option of serving indefinitely.

Because Trump keeps bringing it up over and over and over again.
